Overall

I'm a 400m runner so wear the shoe mainly for warming up, cooling down, strides, tempo runs and strength and conditioning. Lightweight, comfortable, not a great deal of support but forces one to therefore run with good biomechanics. Had them for just under a year, still got good grip, showing little signs of degradation.

Overall

Still putting in over 1000 miles on this shoe, mostly on treadmill during the winter. Once the shoes breaks in the fit is snug around the heel with enough room in the toes for splay. Use it as a daily trainer for being light and low, as well as a racer. The Adios 2 had a similar feel but more tight in the toe box. The Adios Boost is also similar fitting but more responsive and bouncy without as much road feel.

Overall

I have used this shoe as a race flat for 5k-1/2M. It is light and does not have a lot of cushion- but it feels fast. I would probably not use it for a marathon as I would be worried about fatigue over the distance. It feels like a lighter more responsive version of the adidas adios and much more of a race shoe than the adios boost.
